I am so grateful for my time spent helping this family. Truly dedicated family followed all of my recommendations for reactivity. What a lot of folks don't realize is reactivity starts right at home. Right in your front facing windows. Blocking view and limiting rehearsal calms the nervous system. The dogs can actually rest and stop the cycle of hypervigilance.

Clicker training truly worked for this family and their two pups.

New student Gus! We are working on recall on his owners large pasture and leash walking. He had a great first session. I've owned Golden Retrievers for 20yrs and I just love getting to meet more.

I got to see a familiar face today! Maverick attended my scent work class last summer. We are working on a bit of leash reactivity. In Mavericks case it's not fear based reactivity. It's quite the opposite! He wants to play. We are working on being able to pass other dogs in the neighborhood. He did a fabulous job and I look forward to next week.

Luna had her second session today!

We added leash walking and leave it. Just a short walk down two houses and back.

She is such a fast learner, I love working with this sweet girl and her family.

It doesn't get a whole cuter than these two!

We are working on recall, calmness around distractions and leash walking for this week.

Pulled out the trusty longline today.

No matter how you look at it, I feel strongly we should be using long lines when starting or even re visiting recall work.

Rex had a wonderful field trip. We went to the hardware store and then a park. He had a really tough puppy hood. Luckily he has a committed and knowledgeable owner for the rest of his years!

Rufus!

This poor guy was dumped in a large forested area 2 days after Christmas. Luckily he has found a truly dedicated family. They got his health headed in the right direction. Vet care, DNA tested and now training. His owners are angels on earth. Sweetest boy around who follows his nose. I cannot believe how wonderful he is to people still after all he's been through.

Sullivan "Sully" the Great!

We have been working as a team to get him back to his glorious self.

He has had some events in life that changed his and his owner's world.

He did phenomenal today and his owner's diligent practice has paid off.

New student Banks!

We are starting with a private package at home and they will attend one of my upcoming puppy classes as well. It's a wonderful way to start training at a young age.

Stella totally rocked her 3rd session today. We did a field trip to her owners favorite park. We worked on not pulling on leash and what to do when there are other dogs or people around. Stella gets distracted by both humans and dogs alike. Like most Beagles she is super social.

Beagles are a part of the Hound Group.

They are a scent hound. They use their sense of smell to track and hunt prey. What this means is walking a Beagle can be very tricky as their nose is always to the ground.

What we did for Stella was create a system for walking. Part of the walk she can just be a Beagle and sniff to her hearts content. Some parts of the walk she needs to walk with her owner.

It works wonders.

Such a thoughtful gift from a longtime client.

We as trainers should always be learning. I take a class or listen to a recorded seminar or podcast monthly about dog training.

For example, I just finished listening to a 2hour talk and the topic was "living with our dogs".

Even if you just learn one new piece of information it's worth it.

The day we as dog trainers think we know it all and shouldn't still be leaning is the day we should hang up our leash.

This career is an art, a craft. It's many different situations and many different types and personalities of owners and dogs. No two are alike. It's a puzzle we are working to solve.

It's 5% us and 95% the dog and their owner.

Cats & Dogs. One of the hardest situations when the dog or puppy has a high prey drive.

Peanut (5 month old rescue puppy) has the highest prey drive I've ever seen. He has 3 intense breeds so it's in his DNA and not a surprise to me.

So we work on making the cat feel safe up high (counter/furniture/cat post) and working with just a leash on the puppy in the house during this practice.

I've done this same scenario with many clients.

Remember if there is something your dog is struggling with, it just means they need more practice on that particular skill or situation.

You can't expect them to learn something new overnight. Could you learn German/Italian/Spanish overnight? What about math equations?

We need to have realistic expectations and patience with our dogs. 😊

I am so proud of Zoey! We did controlled exposure to my dog Bambi from a distance to make Zoey comfortable. We are working on her understanding that there is a time for play with other dogs (she has a best dog friend Zeus) and a time to be neutral.

There was also another neighbor walking a Husky in the neighborhood and she didn't react to that dog either. She is mastering all her new training skills very well!

"Healing" happening here for Mabel the dalmatian. Learning that other humans and dogs are okay. She has come so far and I'm so grateful her owner shared this video!

This would have not been possible in prior years. At any type of establishment Max would try to launch at the employees through the window. He has come so far. I had to video this amazing accomplishment for him. #leashreactivity #clickertraining #clicktocalm #karenpryor #germanshepherd #germanshepherdsofinstagram

My absolute privilege to help dogs learn that good things can come from being around other dogs. Giving dogs a voice, understanding their anxiety. Giving them tools, giving the owner tools as well. I am so grateful to be a dog trainer and share my knowledge. #DogTraining #dogtrainer #leashreactivity

Walter my 3yr old Saint Bernard in a down stay on a long line with a string cheese near him for a "leave it". So proud of him! He taught his first seminar with me at Ocean Shores when he was just 4 months old. 💜 #saintbernard #dogtraining #dogtrainer

Fantastic group mini series class. We are specifically focusing on recall and leash walking (heel). Walter my 3yr old Saint Bernard attended this evening. Super proud of him! #saintbernard #recalltraining #dogtraining #dogtrainer

I definitely love helping with Leash Reactivity. It's the entire reason I became a dog trainer to begin with. 💜 #leashreactivity #clicktocalm #clickertraining

Last week of Reactive Rover Group class. Three dogs all in the same vicinity along with distractions of the busy Tractor Supply. Fantastic job everyone! If you have a dog who is Leash Reactive I can help. #clickertraining #clicktocalm

Excellent first night of my summer mini series. This is the last one for the year! #tractorsupply #recalltraining #recalltraininginprogress #leashwalking

Teddy rocking recall away from the chickens! First day introducing adding the whistle to recall. 👏

Team work, even a new partner to practice with today! Great job everyone. 😁 #clickertraining #dogtraining #leashreactivity

3 pups together, absolutely phenomenal! 👏👏👏 #leashreactivity #clickertraining

New student Betty! She is from our amazing Shelter here in town called Adopt A Pet. She was actually born there as her mom was pregnant while in the shelter. We are working on leash walking, polite greetings at the door, and recall in the back yard. She did fantastic!
